The Good Death (İyi Ölüm)

Directed by Hasan Ete. (Türkiye, 2024, 20 min.). Turkish with English subtitles. Director present.

In medical literature, a “good death” is one that respects the individual’s privacy and sensitivity; addresses their emotional, spiritual, and religious needs and wishes; and allows sufficient time for farewells. Founded in 2007, the Wish Ambulance Foundation continues its efforts to ensure that terminally ill patients with limited time can experience a “good death.” Today, the foundation fulfills the last wishes of people of all ages facing imminent death. Frank Halter, a retired police officer who volunteers for the foundation in the Netherlands, has been involved in this work for six years. The Good Death focuses on the last wishes of Wim Beuving, a terminally ill man with limited time remaining, and his encounter with Frank Halter, who volunteers to make these wishes a reality.

Also preceded by:

Morî

Directed by Yakup Tekintangaç (Türkiye, 2024, 19 min.). Turkish with English subtitles. Director present.

The only keepsake Morî has from her father is an audio recording of the fairy tale he used to tell her—a story she listens to time and again. One day, a new teacher arrives at school, and the moment Morî sees him, she becomes convinced he is her father. Clinging to this belief, she forms a deep emotional bond with the teacher, blurring the line between memory and reality.
